hey guys, i was driving down the Cumberland hwy yesterday and i saw a v35 coupe like mine, and i gave a signal, well its nothing major but i didn't get one back i drove past and that v got stuck in traffic and a bit later it caught up with me and gave me a nod back... just wondering how many of you out there do nod or whatever when you see a fellow v35? do you? don't you?

....obviously i do salute/signal/nod whatever you wanna call it :D

I dont wave/salute/signal when i see one.............but thats only becuase i dont own a V.......Just yet.

But i can tell you im always supper exited to see one, and stare at it worse than a ladyfriend bending over.

Hence i cant wait to go crazy flashing my lights and sounding my horn when im in my future V, and i see another V coming towards me.

Probably now... Yes...

But...

in a few years time when V35 becomes as common as R33/R34....

then you may ask the question again...

does someone who drives Toyota RAV4 do salute to another Toyota RAV4 driver?

does someone who drives Ford Falcon do salute to another Ford Falcon driver?

does someone who drives BMW 535i do salute to another BMW 535i driver?

nah they don't, but usually import drivers especially Nissans whether its the skyline to the silvia's, and 180sx... i know they salute each other even though they are quite common now.

to be honest i don't see a lot of skylines (any model) these days anyway. there might be a lot more than there use to be but to me there still quite rare.

Exactly. When I first bought my R33 all those years back they were less common than the V35 is now so a wave was always on, but as the years went there was no way I was going to wave every few minutes.

Ditto will happen with the V35.

Call me anti-social but I havent ever bothered with the V35 salute. Perhaps because I am yet to see a female driving one :P

MILLOS - I also do the bike nod but since im only on a 250 my nodding partners are restricted. The guys on bigger bikes dont to noobs, and there is no way i want to be seen nodding to a scooter... unless the rider is wearing a skirt.

Ive seen 3 till now, and each of them have been real tools and instead of nodding the accelerate off!!

I also ride a 250, for the last 5 1/2 years, hahaha. But I've finally put it on the market and want to upgrade now. I normally ride with the big boys, because I'm the only one now that has not updated, so everyone normally nods back on the bike.....but you're right, there's no way I want to be seen nodding to a scooter either....hahaha. Although the better half says that if I get a scooter she will get on the bike with me....she's too scared on the 250.

Back on the V's, yeah a lot of times I don't get a wave/flash back...sometimes I do. Although I don't see many at all on the streets just yet. But like it was said before, I suppose they're not part of this club.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
